The gorgon's head turned others who would fight against him to stone.
Acrisius, Danaë, Perseus, Polydectes, gorgons (Medusa, Stheno, Euryale), Andromeda.
With her sisters, the Gorgons. Medusa and the Gorgons were also related to the Fates but the Gorgons were half reptile and half human. She also had her head cut off by Perseus, so the only place she was really spending time after that was dead on the floor with Perseus carrying around her head like some sort of trophy.
Perseus receives the severed head of Medusa from the gorgons. It's not exactly a gift you'd find on a registry, but hey, it did come in handy for turning his enemies into stone. So, I guess you could say he received a deadly weapon and a great conversation starter all in one.
He watched her through his reflective shield.

Jason did kill Medusa that was Perseus
Perseus's ultimate escape from the Gorgons resolves the story's conflict by successfully obtaining the head of Medusa to fulfill his mission, which was to secure the Gorgon's head as a gift to Polydectes. By using his cunning and the gifts from the gods, including a reflective shield from Athena and winged sandals from Hermes, Perseus outsmarts the Gorgons and avoids their deadly gaze, thereby overcoming the seemingly insurmountable challenge they presented.

The tale of Perseus and Medusa.

Perseus kills one of them (Medusa). The other two persue Perseus but fail to find him as he is wearing the Helm of Darkness.
The conflict in the story of Perseus and Medusa's head is mainly between Perseus and Medusa. Perseus must find a way to defeat Medusa, who can turn people to stone with her gaze, in order to fulfill his quest and protect his kingdom. It is also symbolic of the eternal struggle between good and evil.
that's easy no. i have studied the three gorgons sisters for some time.
Medusa died: her children by Poseidon, Pegasus and Chrysaor escaped by her blood, her sister Gorgons woke and went after Perseus who ran from them who were immortal.
